badgersnake··on Case study: recovery of a corrupted 12 TB multi-device pool

badgersnake··on Author of "Careless People" banned from saying anything negative about Meta

Let’s not forget they’re also behind all this age verification BS.

badgersnake··on Proton Meet isn't what they told you it was
If you can’t buy a fast one, then it’s slow.

It might not be slow forever, but it’s slow now. I’d love to see an open ISA that is fast. But I don’t understand why the industry decided to start over with RISC-V when the compilers and toolchains and chips already existed in power land.

badgersnake··on GitHub has DMCA'd nearly all forks of the official Claude-code repo

Therefore it’s okay, is that your point? Because I don’t think it is.
badgersnake··on Is BGP safe yet?
I get the same result for A&A, but frankly I trust them more than some random site with (apparently) an axe to grind.
badgersnake··on Vulnerability research is cooked
Another boring AI hype article.

“The next model will be the one. Trust me. Just one more iteration.”

AI bros flagged it to death
